- Question 14 doesn't seem to have enough information for me to answer it. Did something get copied out or is there some way of solving it that I'm not aware of?
- For the triangle inequality questions (#17-19 and #22-24), does it matter which two numbers you add together? For example, in #18, could I add 1 and 3 together, or am I constrained to just the first two numbers listed?
- I'm not really sure how to go about solving 25 and 26. I think ratios are involved, but I have no idea how to set it up.
- I have no idea how to go about solving 27. Are the sides that touch assumed to be congruent? If so, could I assume that the sides labelled "18" and "x-5" are also congruent, since those two angles are marked as being congruent? If that's the case, I can work the problem just fine, but otherwise I don't even know where to start.
Thanks!
for 14, the triangle on the right side (where x is) is also an isosceles triangle, so make sure to mark those two sides congruent.
ReplyDeletefor triangle inequalities, you have to try ALL combinations.
For 25-27, come in in the morning for tutoring if possible. We can put those up on the board and walk through them. Great post! Keep it up!
